Incident at the Dog Show.

Miss Helen Dauvray's Mexican hairless
dog, Chiqui,a, another first prize winner,
valued at SO, 600, had the end cage Of
the row, two or three off from Ne ZOOS.
Chjquita seemed to be living in q little
more purple end fine linen than even old
Dives, and Spratt's patent dog biscuit
the prescribed fare for the rest of the dogs
had no claims al all on her. Her skin
WAS q trife richer in copper color than
that of her rivals, and her large eyes
were as soft aud appealing, perhaps, as
an old fashioned Indian maiden'S. Miss
Dauvray herself came in TO fondle her &C.
casionally, ard for the rest OF the time
she was under the care of big, matronly
attendant. The gay ribbons OF the cage
drew around it q good many people who
had never heard of = Mexican hairless

the show with his best girl, ran up
against Chiqpits the other evering with
this result:
OTIS u shame to clip him so close and
all over. 1 wonder how they cut it so
smooth and shiny? 1 guess they do it

"No, he must be going bald. Been TO
too many shows in his dsy-dog shows,

in his mouth after that. Happened that

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, June IA few
weeks ago Mr.. Fitzgerald, an old man
seventy years of age who is su0erin-
tendent of the mines of the San Jose
Mining Company in the state of
Tamaulipas, Mexico, came 10 this city.
To q few persons he revealed the object
of his visit. He was on his way to Burnet
county, this state, in search of the old
San Saba mine mentioned in the old
Spanish mining records, copy of which
he had with him and with an inkling he
had gotten while searching over them he
came to the conclusion that he could
locate the mine. The old gentleman was
snort of funds and wanted to be helped
along. Although q stranger TO MIN Mr..
Charles l.. Dignowity, leading citizen
of this city, had confidence in him, and
gave him 500 to pay his expenses up to
Burnett. Mr.. Fitzgerald left for Burnet
county at once. He went to what is
known at present as Hoover's Valley, on
the Colorado river, fifteen miles north
west from the town OF Burnet and oppo-
site the mouth of the Llano river. Here is
dividing range of mountains, composed
of granite and marble. The mountain is
well known, and is mentioned in the
Spanish archives as the "Espanoss de
Jurez," which in English is "Bsck-
Done OF Judas" and is at
present known among Texans
as the PacksGddIe mountains. From here,
guided by the Spanish records. Mr..
Fitzgerald instituted careful search which
was rewarded by the discovery of an ex-
tensivc lead which other prospectors had
overlooked. The vein is four feet wide,
and consists of rich gold and silver ore
strained with iron. The lead was traced
two miles. The owner OF the land, Mr.
Hoover, was willing to close q trade.
MIR. Fitzgerald telegraphed Mr.. Digno-
witty for money which was promptly
furnished. Mr.. Dignowity went at once
to Burnet, and the trade was closed
Afterward the two gentlemen made
further Investigations and discovered
traces of old mines and al
old Mexican furnace. The whole
country near the discovery is greatly eX-
cited over the developments. Mr.. Dig
nOwIty will begin at once and the
mine will he worked. Mr.. A. r. Iosler,
late state geologist, has made en- assay of
the ore and prOnCunces it very valuable.

General Sherman has this advantage
over General futile, that he is & soldier
and gentleman, and the advantage is 8
very great one when its possessor is
called upon to consider matters involving
soldierly and gentlemsuly principles Of
conduct. General Sherman mas expressed
his opinion IS to General Tuttle's threat
that lows soldiers Of the Grand Army OF
the Republic would insult the President
of the United States if he should venture
to appear in st. Louis next fall in
response to the invitation already
extended to him, and there seems
to be very little of General
futile left. Tuttle said that the
Iowa soldiers would "snub and insult Mr..
Cleveland" General Sherman SAYS they
will do nothing of the kind, and in sup
port of his opinion offers TO stake mis-
life. But that is not all. General Sner-
man is not only convinced that no soldier
who fought for his country will insult the
chief magistrate of his country, chosen
by the people to represent the Nation; ne
is equally firm IN the opinion that no
soldier or citizen could do such q thing
without showing himself to be wholly
lost TO all sense OF decency and proprietv,
and that is what ali decent people thought

How a Detective is Said to Have NJ ade Up
Bogus Tragedy.
Special to the Gazette.
LAREDO, TEX, June I7.-Probably the
thinnest story ever told of hairbreadth
escapes and daGgers is mat told by De-
tective O. W. Fowle and telegraphed
from this place last night. The truth
came out this morning through the hack
driver, VINO on being pushed and threat
ened with investigation by the grand
jury, finally confessed the manner in
which the affair WAS planned and carried
out. The hack drivers story as near as
can be remembered is as follows: He
was engaged by Fowle to drive him to
Palo Fox, about fifty miles up the river.
They left Laredo Wednesday st noon. On
arriving at the San Ys&bel creek it
was not fordsble, and they camped
over night. Fowle then told
of the scheme he had Matched
and repeated the tale they were to tell
when they arrived in town, promising the
driver S25, which he afterwards is said
to have paid him to stick to the story.
The next morning they left camp for
Laredo, and about nine or ten miles out
halted. Here it is said the horses were
taken of the hack and led to a distance
and fastened. Thus the story runs: Two
holes were shot in the hack at different
angles, one passing through the backs OF
both seats. FOwle then arranged his hat
behind a rail so that nothing but the top
was to be seen and shot at it until he put
hole through the crown. He then fixed
up his vest with stick behind rock so
he could also mutilste that, which ne did,
shooting q hole through an upper pocket
as though the bullet had passed under
his arm. He put them in order
to have documentary evidence to prove
that the encounter was actually real.
He drew up statement and after cosXing
the driver, who claims ne was elf drunk,
he succeeded in getting him to sign il.
As near as Fays, the driver, can remem-
Der it reads: This is to certify that f.
G. Jackson stopped two armed men at
Arroyo Ysabel, that he arrested the man
be was after, named Burnett, allowing
the other man to depart, and that he was
afterTard attacked by three armed men
near the crossing of the Rio Grande and
Eagle Pass Railroad, on the wagon
road, and the prisoner rescued.
Signed. w. H. FAYs
They then came on to town, where
Fowle cCrrRled ST the reporters, giving
them his story and passing as the hero of
q decidedly startling and original adven-
ture, as telegraphed yesterday.

To Sail Under the Waves.

A new idea in submarine boats is
reported. An English inventor has
constructed boat which is sometimes
60 feet long, and sometimes consider
ably less. In other words, it shuts
up and opens out like a telescope. and
sinks in the former case and floats in
the latter.
A boat of this kind, which could
dive down and hang torpedo to an
adversary's keel would be an awk-
wark customer to deal with In a ma
nal battle. Perhaps the sea fights of
the future are going to be decided
under water, as the land wars may be
decided by balloons in mid-air.
The new idea, however, is only in
its infancy vet, and may not be prac-
tically developed for a long while.
The telescoping boat to which we re-
ferred is said to work satisfactorily,
but it has only been tried, so far, in
the shallow and placid waters of the
London COCKS - Golden Argosy.
